Distribution and mixing of intermediate water masses in the Channel of Sicily (Mediterranean Sea) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research, 2003
The Channel of Sicily, which represents the only connection between the western and the eastern Mediterranean Sea, can be described as a three‐layer system, where fresher water of Atlantic origin (Modified Atlantic Water) flows eastward in the upper layer, Levantine Intermediate Water (LIW) leaves the eastern basin at around 250–350 m, and an outflow ...

A large abrupt change in the abyssal water masses of the eastern Mediterranean [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2007
In this letter we report observations showing, for the first time, the occurrence of a new, major transformation in the thermohaline cell of the eastern Mediterranean Sea. After 2 decades, during which waters of Aegean origin dominated the abyssal layers of that basin, the Adriatic Sea has returned to represent a major source of Eastern Mediterranean ...

Currents, Water Masses, Eddies and Jets in the Mediterranean Levantine Basin

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1988
Abstract Hydrographic measurements in the southeastern Levantine basin are analyzed, and the climatological water masses of the region and their seasonal variations are identified. We observe the formation of the salty and warm Levantine Surface Water Layer (LSW); we characterize the subsurface Atlantic Water Layer (AW); and we describe the properties ...

The oxygen and carbon isotope distribution in the Mediterranean water masses

Marine Geology, 1999
The oxygen and carbon stable isotope compositions of the present-day Mediterranean waters have been measured in order to evaluate their variability, which is related to the specific climatic and hydrological conditions within the basin. The experimental equation between the δ18O value and the salinity of water, based on 300 measurements on surface ...

Hydrographic characteristics and interannual variability of water masses in the central Mediterranean: a sensitivity test for long-term changes in the Mediterranean Sea

Deep-Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers, 2002
Hydrographic observations repeated from 1993 to 1999 in the central Mediterranean Sea, between the Sicily Strait and the Sardinia Channel, allowed us to define the water masses exchanged between the Eastern and the Western Mediterranean and the long-term variability of their properties.

Water Mass Variability and Levantine Intermediate Water Formation in the Eastern Mediterranean Between 2015 and 2017

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2021
AbstractThe physical characteristics of water masses in the Cilician Basin were analyzed based on recent, comprehensive in‐situ data. Nine seasonal cruises from June 2015 to November 2017 were carried out in an area located in the north‐eastern Levantine Basin between the coasts of Turkey and Cyprus.
